I am a scholar-practitioner based in Vancouver, Canada. I live and primarily work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people.
Academic work
I am a Research Associate at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Centre for Migration Studies. My role involves advancing interdisciplinary research on migration, supporting and developing training and teaching initiatives, and strengthening policy outreach with government and community partners. I also serve on the editorial board of Comparative and International Education / Éducation Comparée et Internationale.
Practitioner work
I am a Public Policy Consultant for the Affiliation of Multicultural Societies and Service Agencies of BC and have been a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants since 2014.* Previously, I worked for over a decade as an International Student Advisor. I have also worked in various positions with immigrant-serving organizations and member associations in Canada and the US, including the former Cultural Orientation Resource Center in Washington, DC. My practitioner experience informs my applied understanding of immigration, citizenship, and newcomer settlement policy and practice.
